Clashes erupted in the Kashmir Valley on Monday as people protesting against the rape and murder of a young girl pelted stones at soldiers. A student sustained pellet injuries in Anantnag town.
The youth, identified as Wamiq Aijaz, was taken to a hospital. "He has sustained pellet injuries," a doctor said.
Markets in Anantnag town shut immediately after clashes broke out. Public transport also stopped plying.
Similar clashes between stone pelters and security personnel also broke out at two places in Shopian and Pulwama districts.
